  Chapter 71 Compromise

  Waiting for Liu Yun to get someone to harness the ox cart, Chu Nanzhi led Erbao Lin Ruixi and Wei Nianyi to sit on it.

   Just as the ox cart started slowly, Lin Jinxiao walked out with the three little guys.

  His hands were firmly on the crutches, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes, but when he met Chu Nanzhi's eyes, he suddenly turned his back and walked back to the yard silently.

  Chu Nanzhi looked at his strange eyes, and then thought about sleeping with him in his arms last night, and suddenly became nervous:

   "This guy must have noticed it a long time ago."

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to slap herself: "Isn't this the flag that I set for him and let myself pull it out?"

  I knew this earlier, so why bother.

"Hey."

  She secretly sighed a little annoyed.

  The ox cart drove slowly all the way, arrived at the gate of the county government office, and stopped in a corner not far from the county government office.

  The yamen servants watched from a distance, and saw that they were new celebrities around the county magistrate, they all came over eagerly to curry favor, and sent people in to report.

   Not long after, in the backyard, Chu Nanzhi saw the long-lost Hu Maoxi.

   Having solved several major cases, Hu Maoxi and Sun Xiancheng were in high spirits at this time, even walking with wind.

  The two first introduced Chu Nanzhi into the side hall with smiles and made tea. Hu Maoxi saw that she was still bringing the child, and asked someone to find some sweets and pastries and hand them to Erbao Lin Ruixi. He smiled kindly and said:

   "Little Sibao, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have grown taller. It seems that your mother has raised you very well."

Hearing him call himself the Four Treasures, the second treasure, Lin Ruixi, immediately became unhappy, and said with a puckered mouth, "Grandpa County Magistrate, do you have bad eyesight? I am not the Four Treasures, I am the Second Treasure, and my name is Lin Rishi."

   "Oh, it turned out to be the second treasure."

   County magistrate Hu looked abruptly, looked at Chu Nanzhi and smiled awkwardly: "These children in your family really have a good understanding, anyway, I can't get rid of my grandfather."

  Hu Maoxi only cared about teasing the children carelessly, but Sun Wucai beside him was a perceptive one.

   Seeing Wei Nianyi beside Chu Nanzhi, Sun Xiancheng's face gradually became a little dull, and he pretended to smile and said, "Ms. Chu came today uninvited, maybe it's not a special trip to visit the old man and the county magistrate, right?"

   "The county magistrate has good eyesight."

Chu Nanzhi took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Relying on the merits of her size, she has been repeatedly rewarded by the county magistrate. I feel really sorry, thinking that my lord will be promoted and leave this place in a few days. Today is a special event. Come to thank you for your kindness."

   "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

  Hu Maoxi glanced at Wei Nianyi beside her who was carrying eggs, and immediately guessed the purpose of this woman.

   And her gratitude inside and outside the words is more like reminding herself, so she hurriedly said:

"No one in this county government office knows that I was able to solve the two strange cases because of the wisdom of Mrs. Chu. If there was no Mrs. Chu, I would have been demoted. The lady is chatting and laughing happily, I will keep this kindness of Miss Chu in mind."

   Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned slightly: "It's just that I intend to bring Mrs. Chu into the county mansion, but Miss Chu's ambition is not here, and I can't force it. It's really a pity."

Chu Nanzhi also remembered what Sun Xiancheng mentioned when he went home last time, and quickly apologized: "Your Excellency's kindness to the women is unforgettable, it's not that the women don't know good and bad, it's that the women are just a village woman, really Worrying about disappointing your lord's kindness."

   "It's okay, it's okay, this matter is over."

  Hu Maoxi smiled indifferently, and then watched her expression gradually become serious:

"Since we left Zhao's house, Miss Chu's handwriting on the case that day is still fresh in my memory, and I also want to ask for advice. I am very happy that Mrs. Chu came today uninvited. I am afraid that the lady is not here today to give advice. , but for other things to make things difficult for this official, so this will embarrass this official."

   As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank it while looking meaningfully at Wei Nianyi who was beside her.

  As soon as Wei Nian saw this, he immediately fell to his knees in fear and fear, and began to cry and beg again: "My lord, my elder brother was really wronged. Please, my lord, be the master of the people and give my brother justice."

  Hu Maoxi was disturbed by the crying, completely disturbed, and directly pulled his face down in front of Chu Nanzhi, and snapped:

"You little girl, from the town hall to the county government, you came to the county government early yesterday morning to beat drums and complain, disturbing the official, and today you deceived Mrs. Chu over here. Do you really think this county government is that?" The vegetable market, you can mess around as you like."

  He scolded Wei Nian out of embarrassment, then he regained his composure and smiled reluctantly at Chu Nanzhi:

"Miss Chu, don't blame me for not giving you face. It's really that the second wife of the Wei family is too messy, and it's okay to drag Mr. Nie to work for her. I think she has suffered a miserable experience, and I have tolerated it again and again, but She just makes trouble endlessly, and I have done my best to her."

   "Yes, yes, what your lord said is very true, and the teacher in this case also mentioned it to the women"

  Chu Nanzhi desperately wanted to move out of Mr. Nie, but Hu Maoxi interrupted her before she finished speaking:

   "Recently, the Japanese officials heard that Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang were fighting for a student in the downtown area. They never thought that the female student was Mrs. Chu."

   After he finished speaking, he was immediately in awe, and seeing her face became kind again.

  Chu Nanzhi pretended to smile indifferently: "It's all because of the favor of the elders, and the women are panicked."

   "Miss Chu is too modest."

  Hu Maoxi said, then looked at Wei Nianyi who was kneeling: "Wei Erniang, get up first."

  The posture of speaking seems to have lost the previous harshness.

Afterwards, he stared at Chu Nanzhi in a precarious position, and said slowly: "If you say that the judge in this case is incompetent, you can still make up your own mind and conclude that there is no wrongdoing in it, besides, Mr. Nie has checked it, and the evidence is convincing. The criminal also confessed, and nothing was missed, so Mrs. Chu may be worrying too much."

   Seeing what he said, Chu Nanzhi didn't know what to do, but she had doubts about the criminal's confession he mentioned.

  After all, in this day and age, prisoners are expected to confess their crimes, and interrogation methods are not civilized. Most of them are tortured to extract confessions. Even innocent people can list a lot of crimes in prison.

  She smiled and pretended to be flattering: "My lord has governed the county for many years, and he has managed the whole county in an orderly manner. Naturally, he can judge cases like a god, and he will never wrong a beloved person."

  After a few words of flattery, she looked at Wei Nianyi who was sobbing softly, but suddenly changed the subject:

"It's just that my younger sister from the Wei family put her life on the line today, claiming that her elder brother is innocent and that it's a matter of life. Although the woman is just a village woman, she knows that human life is precious, and she dare not take it lightly. She has no choice but to let her go through this. Forgive me, my lord."

   "She, she is just a child who doesn't know the world, how can she know that the human heart is sinister."

  Hu Maoxi looked at Wei Nianyi and shook his head impatiently.

   After thinking for a moment, he suddenly compromised, let go of the bottom line in his heart, and said to Chu Nanzhi confidently:

"It doesn't matter, I know that Mrs. Chu can find clues based on a file, and because she has repeatedly helped me get out of trouble, I will hand over the relevant files of this case to my wife for review, so as to end this matter. The jealousy of a pretty girl will save her from scolding me for being stupid in the downtown area."

   Facing Hu Maoxi's sudden compromise, Chu Nanzhi was deeply surprised.

  Hearing the word dossier again, she couldn't help bursting with joy.
